Get over the fence. I'm trying to not help you. >> No, I'm calling dad. >> Good, call your dad. >> Don't touch me ever again. >> So, I'll tell you right now your two options again.

I'm going to beat you. >> Dude, I'll fight you without [music] a [ __ ] Dude, I'll fight you without [ __ ] on my wrist. I'm a goddamn clarity. You've never met a clarity in your life. >> What? You know what? >> She was up on the stage. [music] The crowd wanted her off, and her own mother was standing right there, keys in hand, begging her to just come home. [music] All she had to do was walk away. Instead, in the next few minutes, she'll shove the one person trying to save her and end the night in a jail cell. This is Polk [music] County case number 2023-069-89, and it's all on body cam. September 30th, 2023. The River [music] Bottoms Festival in Runnells, a small community event, live music, food, families out late on a Saturday night. Three Polk [music] County deputies are working it off duty. Deputy Dautovic, Deputy Dawson, and Deputy Spracklin. Routine crowd detail. Right up until 11:15 p.m., that's when it gets flagged to them an attendee is up on the stage, and people want her down.

I am begging you, officer. >> She's [ __ ] right here. >> I will You're here to cause problems. That's your only job. I'm not ready to go to jail. That is your only job. That is why you're here. >> Okay. >> Hey. >> Deputies move in and make contact with the woman later identified [music] in the report as Gracie Flaherty. According to the deputies' report, the moment they start [music] walking her off the stage, she turns aggressive. And there's a detail that explains a lot of what follows, a strong odor of alcohol coming [music] off her as they escort her away from the crowd. >> Hey, look. >> No, that's why he's goddamn here. Every cop that I've ever talked to have always been here to cause trouble. Never to help. They are never here to help. They are never here to help. I They are always here to >> Okay. >> leave. >> No. >> I'm giving you 7 seconds to leave. That's I'm counting. >> Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Listen to me. >> I'm not listening to you. Other side. >> No, I said you're not American. >> Other side. >> Go ahead. Go ahead. >> [music] >> You have 30 seconds to leave. I don't care. Otherwise, we'll take you. >> I want you guys to help me. >> [music] >> I want you guys to help. >> Officer, I am >> I don't care. >> You don't care? Then go [ __ ] off. Go and [ __ ] somebody else, [ __ ] Go and [ __ ] it up. >> Then someone else arrives. Her mother identified as Sarah Dale. And here's what makes this case land differently. Mom isn't there to argue with police. She's there to diffuse [music] it, to grab her daughter, and take her home before this becomes a record. >> Help. [ __ ] off. I said never help. They never help. They never help. They never help. >> Are you going to go to jail or are you going to go to jail? >> You never help. >> now. I'm trying to see if you're going to go to jail. >> You never help. >> All right. >> I have been here, and you guys never help. >> I have no clue [laughter] what you're talking >> You guys never help. >> I have no idea what you're talking about. >> It doesn't matter. You guys never help. I've got I have called for DV. >> Okay. >> And I have never gotten any help, so she doesn't trust you guys. So, I need Here's my right. I need you [ __ ] now. We're on Because you guys You know what? I'm going to be all on I'm going to be all on my own because you guys You guys don't give a [ __ ] You guys don't give a [ __ ] Literally, don't Is this south? I don't know my directions. We're on the south side with a barricade. >> The road that takes you to the co-op. >> The right The road that takes you to the co-op? The road that takes you to the co-op? The road >> All right, let's go. >> The report is clear. Sarah is trying to calm Gracie down and get her out of there. Watch what her daughter does with that lifeline. First move deputies do the smart thing. They don't cuff her. They don't escalate. They walk her away from the crowd [music] to the south of the stage to take the audience out of it. >> Why are you touching me? >> Gracie, stop. >> [ __ ] stop. Why are you touching me? >> Because you didn't >> Stop, baby. >> I'm not putting >> You can put hands on somebody you're going to jail. >> I'm not putting hands on >> No, you just did. So, you're going to jail. So, that was your decision, not ours. Yep. Yep. >> I'm not putting hands on anybody. Why am I going to jail? >> Because you did stupid things. >> Baby, I told you not to. You didn't listen to me. Go the [ __ ] away. Back the [ __ ] up. >> All right, let's let's walk away now. That's the most effective way. >> Guys, I didn't do anything. No, you said No, I didn't put my hands on anybody. You guys put your hands on me. >> All right. >> You guys put your hands on me. >> Okay. >> And I'm >> Going to jail. >> Not doing anything >> Okay. >> You guys put your hands on me. >> Okay. >> You put your hands on me. >> Okay. >> And you've been here since like what, 5:00? >> [music] >> That pedal stash and everything. >> Yep. >> Yeah, I know. >> De-escalation 101. But the report says she's aggressive the entire way. This is the turning point. >> Can't cuff somebody. >> Yeah. >> If you would like to thank her. >> If you keep holding me and you give me breath, I swear to god. Swear to [ __ ] god. Dude, I'll fight you without [music] a [ __ ] Dude, I'll fight you without [ __ ] on my wrist. I'm a goddamn player. You never met a player, do you or what? You never >> Mom's now in the middle of it trying to talk her daughter into leaving. And instead of [music] calming down Gracie turns on her. The report states plainly that Gracie shoved and pushed her mother more than once. That's the psychological core of this whole clip. Not a stranger, not the police [music] first. >> I'm not a player. Why don't you let go of me? Why >> [screaming] >> don't you let go of me? Why >> Gracie, what are you doing? >> Nothing. I didn't do [ __ ] >> [music] >> How old are you? >> I need a lawyer. I get a lawyer. >> How old are you? >> I get a lawyer. Have you ever heard of law enforcement? [music] >> Yeah. >> I get a lawyer. >> Her mom, the one person with zero motive except getting [music] her out safe from there at Cycles. The report describes her getting into the deputies' faces [music] numerous times. And the officers keep offering the same off-ramp over and over. Leave with your mother. Go home. That's it. No ticket. >> [music] >> No cuffs. Just go, but she refuses to follow directions. She refuses to leave the area. And in a moment like this, that refusal has a name under Iowa law. It's interference with official acts. Every second she stands her ground, she's trading a ride home for a booking photo. With the exits used up, deputies place Gracie in wrist restraints and walk her to Deputy Dawson's patrol vehicle. >> I hope [music] both of you know that you're going down. I hope both of you know you're going [music] down. >> Let's put her in the back of the car and see if she can >> I hope they both are going [ __ ] down. >> Gracie, Gracie. >> 10-50. >> I don't think she's going to listen. >> What? >> Shut the [ __ ] up and do not say a dumb damn word. Do you understand me? You do what they say. >> I'mma kill somebody. >> You know what? Hey. >> Hey. >> Stop. Can I please just >> Sit down, [ __ ] >> Go to hell, [ __ ] >> Yeah, I don't know how she got a wrist band. She went ahead of I did. She went ahead of me. >> Where is your ride? >> Um I'm right here. >> Where Where is the [ __ ] car? >> I want a car right here. It's the red car right there. >> Well, I need a car right here. >> Please. Can you help? >> Huh? >> She's so Gracie. She She does not trust you guys. >> I understand. >> I do not trust >> I do not >> it as what she did. >> She did. I'm not I'm not denying that. I totally am not. But I I am having anxiety because I don't I don't trust you. >> I understand. We gave her tons of options. She decided to put her hands on somebody. >> You saw me trying to kill >> No, I It's not on you at all. >> Shut up. Shut up. >> I don't know. Do you have an ID in her wallet or anything? >> I I don't >> Don't know. What is the first name? >> Gracie. >> All right. Are you guys good? >> Can I run? >> All right. >> Dawson transports [music] her to the Polk County Jail. Photos are taken and uploaded into evidence the charges: public intoxication and interference with official acts. Two misdemeanors that didn't have to happen because strip away the stage and the crowd and this was a night with the simplest possible off-ramp for mom. In a parking lot saying, "Let's go home." And she said, "No." >> What are you doing? How are you? >> I'm about to hit somebody in the goddamn face. That's what's happening. I I'm bleeding from my goddamn forehead. I'm bleeding from my forehead. >> All right. Okay. >> I'm bleeding from my forehead. [ __ ] [ __ ] I didn't do anything. >> Okay. >> No, [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you. I'm watching you. >> So, here's the question. When someone's too far gone [music] to make the smart call and the smart call is standing right in front of them, keys in hand, whose responsibility is it to stop the night from ending like [music] this? Hers? The alcohol's? Or is there a point where the people around you can't save you from yourself? Tell me in the comments. And be honest, if that was your family member on that stage, what would you have wanted the deputies to do?
